Welcome to Finally Finishing. My goal here is to finish all the projects that I have started once and for all. I have so many "starts and stops" that I have lost track and missed opportunities not to mention the cash I have put out for materials. I invite you to join me in this endeavor. I need accountability. If you do too follow along and lets get things done once and for all.Feel free to tell me what you are "Finally Finishing".

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

Better Late Than Never.....I guess......right?

Well sure, I’m more than a
little embarrassed about this one…here goes. My mother gave me the bookKnitting for Peace for my birthday in 2007 (so the inscription says). I had
expressed a desire to make a hat for Caps For Kids, a deserving organization that
sends hats to underprivileged children. There was a darling if
somewhat challenging cap that I wanted to make BUT once again I got busy and
the book got displaced a few times until it got packed away and forgotten. Finally
unearthed last week I was again reminded of the wonderful work this committed group does for disadvantaged children. I
pulled out a skein of soft, washable wool from my stash and went to work. Here it
is!! BUT HERE IS THE RUB. I HATE, HATE, HAT THE YARN AND THE HAT! (Sigh) Never the less
I will pack it up and send it off to Caps For Kids. I ask you loyal readers, does it make me a bad person to send an ugly hat to
charity?

I asked my mom and she said NO
IT DOES NOT and reminded me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
